Elevator to Hell

The other reviews are correct - puzzles aren't logical. Its a linear room that doesn't flow. The set is fine (not great), but the puzzles aren't really tied to the theme. So we ended up spending more time confused than actually solving puzzles. No puzzle is challenging, its just not obvious what's going on. There were some things we should have gotten faster, but mostly it just didn't make sense or was more of a time waster than mentally engaging I wouldn't recommend any more than w people. And for that, we paid $150. For that price I'd expect a well thought out room. And this just isn't one. We also got let in 5 minutes late by the person in the lobby.

We didn’t succeed in playing this game but I really wanted to like it. I found some of the puzzles difficult to decipher but perhaps if we were more people like 3 or 4 we would have had more success. We played another game of theirs and had the same struggle. It is a very nicely designed room though.

Wonderfully immersive right from the moment you step off of the (real) elevator into the escape room establishment. Even though it's a single, small room, it makes use of the space in creative ways that break standard conventions of other escape rooms (in a good way). Unlike the other reviews, we didn't think that there was anything that required major logical leaps...though we thought one of the puzzles could have been a bit more streamlined (in a very simple way) to make the logical deductions required more reasonable. There's an automated hint system that will prod you along if you're taking too long on things. We would have preferred if there was a way to only request hints when we wanted them, since we ended with a lot more time left on the clock. It's perfectly-sized (though somewhat expensive) for 2 people, maybe 3 people (with a slightly more reasonable per-person cost). More than 3 people would probably be pushing it a bit in terms of the capacity and the amount of content in the room.

There was a puzzle clue given early on that seemed to be important to progress to the next immediate step. However, it wasn't used until much later and ended up distracting our group significantly

Elevator to Hell is a mixed bag. Some of the puzzles seemed to need more of a jump in logic, and we leaned on hints. The atmosphere is great, but tight for the amount of people allowed. It's definitely a harder room, so I wouldn't recommend it to newbies. Overall I had fun

This was a horrible disappointment. The concept seemed so promising, but any cool tech aspects they could’ve incorporated were left out. The ending was abrupt, and overall it was just pretty boring
